So to my guest, welcome 23 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 1: and how are you doing. Thank you? I'm very good good. 24 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 1: I'm like super excited to have you on the show. 25 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 1: I watched like all your inner views. Your energy is amazing, 26 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 1: So I can't wait for everybody to hear your story. Well, 27 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 1: let's get to it. I love it. So before we 28 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 1: get into your story, can you please explain the difference 29 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:16,920 Speaker 1: between polygamy and polyamory. Sure, polygamy means that either one 30 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 1: male can have several wives or one female can have 31 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:26,079 Speaker 1: several husbands, but those wives or husbands cannot have other partners. 32 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: It's similar to monogamy, except just more people of the 33 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:33,639 Speaker 1: same sex. Polyamory means that the woman and the man 34 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: in the relationship can both have other partners. Mhm. One 35 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 1: are the misconceptions of living a polyamorous lifestyle? Well, I 36 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,920 Speaker 1: think that people don't know what polyamory means. They think 37 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: it means polygyny, you know, with one man and several wives, 38 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: or they think it means polyandry with one woman and 39 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: several husbands. I'm not polyandrous. My husbands can have other 40 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 1: partners as if they so choose m because and you 41 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 1: can have other partners as well. Yes, I can, I 42 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 1: have many. I know you do. Uh. Do you think 43 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 1: that the media does a good job with portraying his lifestyle. No, 44 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 1: I think that the media does not portray this lifestyle. 45 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: They don't want to have this. I guess it's a 46 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 1: part of the social fabric. They were just enjoy for 47 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: things to remain patriarchal and not working where women are 48 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 1: just not free. Right. Um, So one thing about your story. 49 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 1: You have been married for over twenty five years and 50 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 1: you've been open with your first hustban for over twelve years. 51 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: So how did that transition come about? Oh? Absolutely well 52 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 1: I was Yes, I've been married twenty five years and 53 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 1: with him, the transition came about naturally because we both 54 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 1: would always admit to the other that we liked other people. 55 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 1: You know, we weren't having sex with them, but we 56 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 1: were always open about how weel about work colleagues or 57 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 1: colleagues in our spiritual place of gathering, and we would 58 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 1: tell each other like, I'm attracted to this other person. 59 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 1: We didn't act on it until year twelve, but we 60 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 1: always were very open and honest with each other. M h. 61 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,280 Speaker 1: I know. There was one story that she said that, Um, 62 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 1: he came home one day and he was telling you 63 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,480 Speaker 1: how he fell in love with another woman. Yes, he did, 64 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,160 Speaker 1: and that was coming home from work. Um. You know, 65 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 1: and at work people have their work husband, their work wife, 66 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,039 Speaker 1: you know, I mean everybody has that. You probably had 67 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 1: that very name. So so he was just telling me 68 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 1: about her, his work wife, and he was saying he 69 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,280 Speaker 1: might want to take it to the next level. We 70 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 1: had never cheated on each other, so he wanted to 71 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 1: be open and honest with me, and so that's how 72 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 1: that occurred. You know. I wasn't happy to hear it, 73 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,600 Speaker 1: but I knew that I also had other interests. So okay, 74 00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 1: let's hear it. Uh. Is there a limit to how 75 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,839 Speaker 1: many partners you or your husband can have? No, there's 76 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 1: no limit, of course not. Love has no limits, so 77 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,480 Speaker 1: we don't limit ourselves on that. So I watched several 78 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,039 Speaker 1: of your interviews and you spoke about how angry you 79 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 1: were in the beginning of your marriage. Why is that 80 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 1: at the beginning of my marriage in terms of the 81 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 1: polyamory or in terms of just being married in general, 82 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,040 Speaker 1: being married in general, because I think it was more 83 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 1: so you were saying, it has something to do with 84 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 1: how you was feeling as being a woman and like 85 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,159 Speaker 1: you being an alpha woman. And then the next question 86 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 1: is gonna be about how your personal journey, what polyamory 87 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 1: was well in my marriage. I just wasn't prepared to 88 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 1: for marriage because I didn't know that men are less 89 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:49,239 Speaker 1: sexual than women. I did not know that women rule 90 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:53,279 Speaker 1: sex and that we are highly much more sexual than men. 91 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:57,799 Speaker 1: And you know, I I just I wasn't prepared for that. 92 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 1: So it felt like a trick, you know, like, oh 93 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 1: my gosh, I'm gonna be with somebody who only wants 94 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 1: to have sex with me three times a week? What 95 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 1: is that? I just didn't know, you know. And I 96 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,720 Speaker 1: didn't know that he sometimes wouldn't want to be sexual. 97 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,919 Speaker 1: I didn't know that after you have children you feel 98 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 1: differently about your partner. I didn't know that his smell 99 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: changes after you have um children with him. It's just 100 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 1: a lot that women don't know about marriage. H m hmm. 101 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 1: But I also saw another interview you were saying how 102 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 1: you wish your grandma would have been open with your 103 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 1: mom about the thing she did with her marriage, because 104 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,160 Speaker 1: I had like a lot of things that we do 105 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,480 Speaker 1: conversation area they've been had. If people are just be 106 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 1: a little bit more transparent with these right right, I 107 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 1: think they're trying to spare us the details that are 108 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 1: really hard to stomach. But it's really unfortunate because then 109 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,719 Speaker 1: we go into marriage thinking it's gonna be like Disney, 110 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 1: and it is most assuredly not not whether no matter 111 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,360 Speaker 1: how much money you have, no matter what color you are, 112 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 1: no matter how old you are, no matter, it is 113 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 1: not like Disney. So my grandmother did not tell me 114 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 1: that every time my grandfather cheated, she also cheated. She 115 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 1: I was like, okay, Grandma, Okay. If I had known better, 116 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 1: then I would not have the expectation that everything sexually 117 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 1: in my marriage. Right, So, how is your personal journey 118 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 1: with polyamory in the beginning, you know, it's stressful, it's hard. 119 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: That's why I'm a polyamorous love coach. So when I 120 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 1: take couples who are married more than ten years through 121 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 1: this journey, they go through like a living hell because 122 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 1: they're they have all of their conditionings to confront. They're afraid, 123 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 1: they think their partner is gonna leave them. They think 124 00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 1: that everything is gonna go awry, and those things are 125 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 1: scary to think that your partner might leave you when 126 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 1: you want to grow out with your partner, you want security, right, 127 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 1: And so we go through all of those initial stages, 128 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 1: asked me and my husband did and get to the 129 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 1: other side where the marriage is solid. And one thing 130 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 1: I like about your relationship with your first husband, y'all 131 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 1: been knowing each that for a very long time, so 132 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 1: it's like y'all really respect each other. Indeed we do. 133 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 1: I mean, he is my best friend, he's my king, 134 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 1: he's my age, he's my he is somebody that I 135 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,679 Speaker 1: would never leave and I know that he would never 136 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:35,959 Speaker 1: leave me, and it took a long time to build that. 137 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 1: You know, how has men polyamorous helped your relationship? Oh 138 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,839 Speaker 1: my goodness. I mean it's I don't want to say 139 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,200 Speaker 1: it saved our relationship, but I will say that freedom 140 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 1: makes the relationship worthwhile. Um, without that, it would feel 141 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 1: like I was trapped because my husband I don't share 142 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 1: a similar interest on everything. There are things that I 143 00:08:58,320 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 1: want to do that he doesn't want to do. For 144 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,679 Speaker 1: since me and my second husband travel, my husband does 145 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,320 Speaker 1: not want to travel. He hates airplanes, he hates flying, 146 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 1: he hates going to places, and I would feel like 147 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 1: a part of my life is missing if I cannot travel. Right, So, 148 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,439 Speaker 1: being able to travel with someone who likes to travel 149 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 1: and is romantic, likes to hang out on the beach 150 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 1: and have drinks from a coconut. My husband doesn't drink. 151 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 1: I went on my husband honeymoon with my first husband, 152 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 1: and he wouldn't even let me drink, like he doesn't drink. 153 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 1: I know you was stress. I know he was over it. Drink. 154 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 1: I just think, can I get some wine with dinner 155 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 1: or bear or something? So nah, Yeah, we're very different. 156 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 1: We're very different, and yeah, I also have two different 157 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 1: personalities to right, he's so quiet, yeah, and you're just 158 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: like so much energy and stuff. So yeah, I know 159 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 1: you was like annoying. I couldn't stand a girl. So 160 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:02,319 Speaker 1: that was that. You know, I feel happier with the 161 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 1: option at least if I want to go travel, if 162 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:06,960 Speaker 1: I want to go skiing, if I want to go 163 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 1: to the beach, that I have somebody to do that with. Also, 164 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,320 Speaker 1: right when you and your husband decided to transition into 165 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,440 Speaker 1: this to the Polly lifestyle. Did you receive any static 166 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 1: from your family? Yes, I mean yeah, super call Black 167 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 1: Christian family says, no, this is ridiculous.

All of you wish you could 170 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: have this? Everyone? You know what y'all talking about the Bible, 171 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 1: all of y'all want it. Well. I like the fact 172 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 1: that you spoke on how men been doing this for 173 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 1: a very long time, and you was like, if you 174 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 1: were going to be supported of this lifestyle, that you 175 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 1: were gonna start taking it too. And I'm like, exactly, 176 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:51,679 Speaker 1: like why would I? How would I not? I'm I 177 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 1: just haven't been raised in the way that our grandparents 178 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,320 Speaker 1: were raised to just fully submit to a man, Like 179 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:02,680 Speaker 1: I'm submissive, I'm surrender I believe in femininity, but I'm 180 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 1: just not crazy, Like I'm not a fool. If you 181 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 1: want that, you know, I want that to just open 182 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 1: up and let it go, let it happen. So I 183 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:12,440 Speaker 1: feel like you a big sis. So why do you 184 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 1: feel like women have a hard time with submitting or 185 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:20,840 Speaker 1: surrendering because they don't feel that they'll be taken care 186 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 1: of They feel like they'll be used as a doormat. 187 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,079 Speaker 1: They feel as if the men are not protective or sincere. 188 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 1: I've never believed that about men. I grew up with 189 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 1: my father. He was very sincere and very present, but 190 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:38,320 Speaker 1: you know, he submitted to my mom. I just think 191 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 1: this generation where women, black women especially can finally stop 192 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 1: being so much on guard and release our guard and 193 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 1: really trust men. And I trust men, so I really 194 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 1: know that they're gonna take care of me. Men love 195 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:54,840 Speaker 1: to please me, They love to take care of me. 196 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 1: They love to give me everything I need, so I 197 00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 1: can submit right well, listen, I submit to of somebody 198 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 1: gave me everything I need and one plus your freedom. Listen. Um, 199 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,200 Speaker 1: how was the conversation with your children? Because when I 200 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 1: look at the interactions you have your kids, they seem 201 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 1: very understanding and supportive. They are and my children are 202 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 1: brilliant because of this they have They've learned that they 203 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:24,920 Speaker 1: can surpass any status quo. They're not stuck and working 204 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,840 Speaker 1: a j ob or stuck in being in a relationship. 205 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 1: They don't like they can be creative because we were creative. 206 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:34,679 Speaker 1: So I really am happy that I did this with 207 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:38,200 Speaker 1: my children. For the past fifteen years, so I know that, 208 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 1: like I said, you were the first black woman to 209 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,200 Speaker 1: be open and honest about living this lifestyle. So I 210 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: can only imagine the beginning because you've been doing this 211 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 1: for a very long time. This is your life. So 212 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,560 Speaker 1: how were you able to move past all the negativity 213 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:54,839 Speaker 1: that came your way? Really, sweetheart, I didn't feel the negativity. 214 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 1: I feel more negativity from people who are stuck in 215 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 1: marriages that they don't like or who forcing I don't 216 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:05,319 Speaker 1: feel negativity when people approached me. They're curious and they 217 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 1: want to know how this is done, how to get 218 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:11,840 Speaker 1: over jealousy and insecurity. But I guess the only negativity 219 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 1: I feel is how uh people might respond on YouTube 220 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 1: videos or threads. I've had millions of comments that said, 221 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 1: I am a whole I'm a horror that. But to me, 222 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 1: that's just people who were sleeping and if you wake 223 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 1: them up by throwing water on them, like introducing them 224 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 1: to somebody like me, nobody wants to be woke up 225 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 1: with the water. I mean, they want to wake up 226 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 1: slowly at their own page. They were just not ready 227 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 1: to hear about a free black woman. In two two 228 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 1: thousand five, they just you look happy too, Like you 229 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 1: look very happy. I feel happy, I feel young, I 230 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,440 Speaker 1: feel vital, even though I may not be as young 231 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 1: as you think, but I feel vital. I feel relaxed, 232 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:58,320 Speaker 1: and I feel you look like it though. Thank you? 233 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 1: Did you have any throughout everything? Oh? Every day? I mean, 234 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 1: doubts are gonna come because we're human. But it's what 235 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 1: it's what you do with the doubts. That's why we 236 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:12,680 Speaker 1: started Progressive Love Academy. We support people in knowing what 237 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,600 Speaker 1: to do with their doubts and fears and insecurities and jealousies. 238 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 1: There's things you can do with that stuff beyond just 239 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 1: succumb to them. Okay, they're just the thoughts of the ego. 240 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 1: But we also know that we have a higher self. 241 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 1: So we have fourteen books about this, a huge academy, 242 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 1: and we train people in this art every day. And 243 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 1: one thing I'll also give me a story is I 244 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 1: think that another misconception that people have with this lifestyle 245 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 1: is people getself fixate on the multiple partners. But when 246 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 1: I listen to your interviews, I get the sense that 247 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 1: it's more about community and support, right, It's about emotional support. 248 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 1: I don't know what the problem is with that. But 249 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,440 Speaker 1: maybe people are used to not having support. I am 250 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 1: used to having people around me to talk to, to hold, 251 00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 1: to cuddle, to help me with my garden, to help 252 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 1: me with my kids, and help me with my life. 253 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 1: I don't want to be existing in a nuclear family. 254 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 1: I don't believe the nuclear family has worked out. Mm hmm. 255 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 1: And you also spoke on how you had you and 256 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 1: your husband had sever of your partners moved in the house, 257 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 1: and it was kind of beneficial in many ways. Absolutely, 258 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 1: we love the concept of having many partners in our 259 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 1: house so that we don't have to do everything alone, 260 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 1: and so that we don't have to do everything the 261 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 1: other person wants. Who wants to be responsible for making 262 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 1: another person happy twenty four hours a day for twenty 263 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 1: five years, not me, get somebody else to do that. 264 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 1: My husband saying, oh, I want to take a bathroom, 265 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,040 Speaker 1: I want to do this, I want somebody to cook, 266 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 1: and Okay, let me get you somebody in here to 267 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 1: do that, because I would. I'm not that woman a right. 268 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 1: I mean, I did it for seventeen years with my 269 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 1: kids when they were home. They're in college. I don't 270 00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 1: want that right now. I'm doing something else. Yeah, I say, 271 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 1: you know on TV salsa dances. I say, oh, she 272 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 1: is living her best life. Yes, so I know that 273 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 1: you have a sugar daddy as well. And you spoke 274 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,960 Speaker 1: on how women and men should have a man for 275 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 1: every area of their life. Please explain that because I 276 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,600 Speaker 1: agree with this. Well, yes, we just get pleading a 277 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 1: book on this technology. But it's called the choice paradigm, 278 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 1: and it says that women and men have five major 279 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 1: areas that they need field and never does one person 280 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 1: feel more than one or two of those. So even 281 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 1: if you're not sexual with other people, it's good to 282 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 1: have other people in your life. I mean personally, I'm 283 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 1: sexual with my partners for the most part, but even 284 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 1: if I need like one of the areas is called support. Choice. 285 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 1: You know, that's your honey, dude, that's your honey dude.

You you have 296 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:26,959 Speaker 1: more money to me. How did you get it? Like 297 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,879 Speaker 1: that type of thing, right, So, and then there's a 298 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,679 Speaker 1: womb choice, which is more like, oh my gosh, I 299 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:34,680 Speaker 1: just need to have sex with you at all times. 300 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,160 Speaker 1: I bravely I need it. Where you had come over 301 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:40,719 Speaker 1: here and deliver, you know. So these are all segments 302 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 1: that men and women have and they have a need 303 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 1: for that, and the wife or husband doesn't usually cover 304 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 1: but one or two of those areas. So how did 305 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:51,879 Speaker 1: you transition into being a luck coach and having an 306 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:57,639 Speaker 1: academy well over thousands of members. Well, my husband told 307 00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:00,920 Speaker 1: me before we were Polly, as we were starting our journey, 308 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:04,160 Speaker 1: that we should document everything and that we should actually 309 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 1: share our story. So I just started a little blog 310 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,959 Speaker 1: and I started to share my story. My husband went 311 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,159 Speaker 1: out last night. I'm so scared, I'm crying, you know. 312 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:17,320 Speaker 1: I started sharing personally the story and people just started following. 313 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,679 Speaker 1: Then I started documenting the techniques that I used to 314 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,560 Speaker 1: help me get past the conditionings, and that's when it 315 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 1: became tools, technology, books and teaching this technology to others. 316 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 1: Because how many programs do you have in books? Four books, 317 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,760 Speaker 1: fourteen books? We have seventy courses at the academy. We 318 00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 1: have five thousand, five hundred members, and we just teach 319 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:42,919 Speaker 1: this all over the world. We have Facebook groups, we 320 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:47,680 Speaker 1: have clients literally in Panama. Our books are translated in Italy. 321 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 1: I mean we have programs on has a pandemic kind 322 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,040 Speaker 1: of slowed it down on people are still out there 323 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,119 Speaker 1: trying to get it. No, the pandemic spread it up 324 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 1: because now you're at home isolated with your partner and 325 00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:04,399 Speaker 1: you really can see the marriage and start to work 326 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:08,440 Speaker 1: on it. So we've had more clients during the pandemics. 327 00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:12,240 Speaker 1: The pandemic aginst low enough. No show people still need 328 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 1: their basic needs met. Humans have been for sex and companionship. 329 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:20,879 Speaker 1: When people be getting your program, what are some common 330 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 1: obstacles that you notice from your clients? Mm hmm. Common 331 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 1: obstacles include, um, what are my family gonna say? Um, 332 00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 1: I'm afraid for my partner to do it, but I 333 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:36,159 Speaker 1: want to do it. They say things like, um, what 334 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 1: about s t d S? What about um pregnancies? I 335 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 1: mean just the typical things that we help them with. 336 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:46,640 Speaker 1: I feel like people that's not familiar with this lifestyle 337 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 1: they always ask you about st d S. Does they 338 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:52,320 Speaker 1: get annoying? Not at all, because I know people are 339 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,240 Speaker 1: very afraid of st d S. But I've had more 340 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 1: partners than most women. I've never had it STD because 341 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 1: we have a protocol for that, right, what's the protocol? Oh, 342 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:04,640 Speaker 1: that's what we share with our members. You should join. 343 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 1: It's progressively. Let's say that the game is we don't 344 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:17,239 Speaker 1: play that game because I know, I know, we know 345 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 1: how valuable this information is and it really has supported 346 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:24,679 Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands of people all over the world. Um, 347 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 1: are there any requirements of your academy? No, just that 348 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,280 Speaker 1: you are willing to come in and be coachable. I 349 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 1: mean you've got to go through at least a year 350 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,920 Speaker 1: if you're gonna do it yourself at one of our courses, 351 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:38,040 Speaker 1: or you can do it in three months if you 352 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 1: book me as a coach. But it takes time to 353 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 1: organize this. I really hate to see people jumping into 354 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:48,720 Speaker 1: polyamory without any support. It is treachery. M uh. One 355 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,640 Speaker 1: thing I liked about you. You said that you will 356 00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:54,639 Speaker 1: only work with those individuals that's been married for a 357 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 1: certain amount of years. Is that still truth? Absolutely? In 358 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,480 Speaker 1: my coaching, I only work with those married ten years 359 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 1: or more. In the academy, they're single people, LGBT sexual people, 360 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 1: married people whoever wants to come to the Academy can 361 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:14,640 Speaker 1: do that. But for private coaching, I work with couples. Um. 362 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,240 Speaker 1: I really admire you as a woman because I understand 363 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,879 Speaker 1: what it means to use your feminine, feminine essence, and 364 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 1: I see you doing it all the time throughout your interviews, 365 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,520 Speaker 1: especially when you're the person that's interving you as a man. 366 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:27,879 Speaker 1: What is the advice you against our professional home girls 367 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,240 Speaker 1: out there on tap into that superpower? Because I think 368 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 1: when you do that it's very intoxicating. Absolutely. The advice 369 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:37,600 Speaker 1: that I would give is that maybe in this culture, 370 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 1: the feminine hasn't been given her due, but the feminine 371 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:44,439 Speaker 1: is responsible for every manifestation, every reality you see on 372 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:48,120 Speaker 1: planet Earth. We are literally the creatrix or the birthers 373 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,480 Speaker 1: of new things. So if you want to birth new things, 374 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,320 Speaker 1: you're corporate. You're working even in a job and you 375 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:57,400 Speaker 1: want to create something new, you have to bring the feminine. 376 00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 1: The masculine is already incorporate. But feminine is that sweetness, 377 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 1: that joy, that cheerleading of the masculine. That's surrender, that submission, 378 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:12,120 Speaker 1: that belief and support for the masculine, and it's bringing 379 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 1: the ideas that you into it from the inner world. 380 00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:18,879 Speaker 1: Women have dreams, women have intuitions, and that's what we 381 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,359 Speaker 1: can share with our men. That is a value beyond 382 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:25,920 Speaker 1: just whop or beyond just being a man like them. Right. 383 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,879 Speaker 1: Another thing I really love about your transparency is you 384 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 1: spoke about being a cancer survivor and when her interviews 385 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:36,960 Speaker 1: and how he was instrumental on your journey of growth. Absolutely, 386 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,880 Speaker 1: that's when I became a female prior I was a male, 387 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:44,680 Speaker 1: because I just want what you kept saying, how Dick 388 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,400 Speaker 1: was bigger. I said, Yo, I totally understand where she's 389 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 1: coming from. I mean, I felt like I needed to 390 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 1: be in control in order to get what I needed. 391 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 1: Even in sex, I had to control the sexual scenario 392 00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,679 Speaker 1: in order to pleasure or have an orgasm. And I 393 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,359 Speaker 1: really really look back on that time like, Wow, I 394 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:06,440 Speaker 1: really didn't trust him to do anything not even properly 395 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,439 Speaker 1: pleasure me. I didn't trust him to pay the bills. 396 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 1: I didn't trust him to with the kids. I wouldn't 397 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 1: trust him to with my life. So why be with 398 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 1: a man if I'm gonna be the man? So I 399 00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:21,720 Speaker 1: had cancer woke me up to that part of myself 400 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:26,959 Speaker 1: where I was using my childhood experiences to justify not 401 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 1: trusting men. And it was sad because I had to 402 00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 1: come to that. Mm hmm. What does the future of 403 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,359 Speaker 1: love look like for you? For me, the future of 404 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:39,920 Speaker 1: love looks very different than what it looks like now. 405 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:43,879 Speaker 1: It's it's about non ownership. It's about freedom with commitment, 406 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 1: it's about any like For me, I say, anybody I'm 407 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:50,119 Speaker 1: having sex with is a husband, you know, it's a boyfriend. 408 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:53,639 Speaker 1: It's a connection. It's not it's no longer about just 409 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:57,640 Speaker 1: getting my needs meant masturbating in somebody's body, but real 410 00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:02,439 Speaker 1: human connection, and it extend beyond the monogamous mindset. I 411 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:04,360 Speaker 1: think when we do that, we take care of each 412 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,879 Speaker 1: other better as a culture, especially among African Americans, it 413 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,880 Speaker 1: would be great, um, but among everybody, we would take 414 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,560 Speaker 1: care of each other better and we would unite more easily. 415 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 1: And one my question to my question is, I'm just 416 00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,000 Speaker 1: curious how does one become a husband because I know 417 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,680 Speaker 1: you only say you have two husbands and everybody else's 418 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 1: just like your boyfriends, right, So that's I say that 419 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,560 Speaker 1: because they don't live here. My husband's live in my house. 420 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 1: They take care of my kids. They are taking care 421 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,440 Speaker 1: care of me like my boyfriends are just like, oh, 422 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:37,920 Speaker 1: let's go on a fun date or let's do something fun. 423 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 1: It's more like a friend who might you know, I 424 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:46,360 Speaker 1: might be sensual or and sexual with. But my husbands 425 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:49,120 Speaker 1: are committed for life. You know they're gonna be here 426 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:52,960 Speaker 1: for me, just like any other husband in monogamy. Would 427 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:56,120 Speaker 1: you get another husband? I would, I really would. Yes, 428 00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 1: mm hmmm. And this is a personal question because I 429 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:01,399 Speaker 1: really want to know because I watched this interview and 430 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 1: I didn't like the energy he was giving off. Do 431 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:06,920 Speaker 1: you feel like that to feel was a little rude 432 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:11,240 Speaker 1: with y'all. I feel like Dr Phil was extremely threatened 433 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:16,320 Speaker 1: by us, and he was extremely um um upset that 434 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:20,119 Speaker 1: about the freedom of women, and he especially got upset 435 00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 1: when I asked him, Okay, so Dr Phil, have you 436 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:26,159 Speaker 1: ever been attracted to anybody at your job, and he 437 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 1: didn't want to answer that question because he knows he has. 438 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:32,160 Speaker 1: But that's how monogamy is. You have to lie. So 439 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,520 Speaker 1: for me to confront him like that made him very upset, 440 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:39,120 Speaker 1: and I understand why he became rude. Yeah, I didn't 441 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,720 Speaker 1: like that energy, especially when you got up, because he 442 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:45,400 Speaker 1: was like, you need some lotion, right girl. I was like, 443 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:53,879 Speaker 1: oh girl. He was very annoyed by the feminine you know. 444 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:58,159 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he was very annoyed, very annoyed. But I 445 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:01,240 Speaker 1: am super excited we got a chance to see UM. 446 00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,960 Speaker 1: I think that you're the big sister that every woman needs, 447 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:05,840 Speaker 1: whether she believes in the lifestyle or not. I think 448 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,439 Speaker 1: your energy is contagious. I definitely want to keep in 449 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 1: contact with you.
